CARBON TRUST ENERGY SAVINGS CAMPAIGN

That this House is aware of the Carbon Trust, an independent company established by Government in 2001 in response to the threat of climate change to help businesses and service providers to accelerate the move towards a low carbon economy to help reduce carbon emissions and to develop commercial low carbon technologies; is also aware that so far the Trust has worked with more than 700 secondary schools and further education colleges across the nation which have already identified energy savings of around 16 million and carbon emission savings of 119,000 tonnes annually; welcomes the Trust's fresh campaign to encourage all head teachers and college administrators in England and Wales to realise potential energy savings in their schools and colleges, whilst at the same time helping to tackle global warming; believes such a strategy should be supported by all education authorities; and calls on the Government to do all it can to help deliver such a sensible and worthwhile strategy.
